As per schedule check on Garuda Indonesia website (booking system) [http://booking.garuda-indonesia.com], Garuda Indonesia is reinstating it's GA726/729 service PER-DPS-PER. It is also increasing introducing direct service from PER-CGK. This takes Garuda's overall schedule from 14 to 21 weekly.

As per Qantas network changes, QF67/68 / Perth - Hong Kong and QF72/71 / Perth - Singapore will cease from 31MAR13 and 15APR13 respectively. This leaves Singapore as Qantas' only network destination out of Perth with a daily service. QF78/77 has been retimed to "better connect to onward flights to Asia".

Who is QF's onward partner into Asia from Singapore anyway? Can't see that QF route lasting too much longer. SQ will just keep doing what they do best and take the regular and premium traffic, while Jetstar and Tiger will take the boardies and thongs brigade - but that pax is not usually heading to Sinkers, don't think they would be acceptable Sands Marina clientele, or even Sentosa these days.

Cathay Pacific is considering increasing its current 10 x weekly PER-HKG to double daily from 01JUL13. Timings will be slightly adjusted to offer a slighter later daylight service and also overnight service to maximise connections for the CX/KA network at the HKG hub.

Malaysia Airlines is looking at increasing its KUL-PER services from the current 10 x weekly to double daily from early September. Its currently weekly Kota Kinabalu(BKI)-PER 737 service is also set to increase to 4 x weekly from early August.

ridiculous.

I've performed similar searches, Brisbane to London and every time EK is significantly cheaper than QF (min $600) for flights on the same physical aircraft.Can't see the QF tie up with EK being the saviour for QF as they would have us believe.

1) Per inventory of AirAsia website. AirAsia is increasing flight frequency to Perth. The current D7232/233 service will go daily from 24NOV13. This service currently operates on Tues, Wed, Fri and Sun.--2) Emirates will increase capacity and frequency to Perth by changing its daily EK424/425 from a 777-200LR to 777-300ER. From 03MAR13 the EK422/423 presently operating only 5 x weekly will switch to a daily service. PER will therefore have 3 x daily DXB-PER flights all operated by 77Ws - UNCONFIRMEDhttp://www.facebook.com/Airlinehubbuz/p ... 5338657144
